We are getting lots of inquiries for puppies as everyone is confined for social distancing. Please think carefully if now is a good time to expand your family. Socializing a new puppy now will be challenging. You will not be able to do an obedience class. Mandalay collies and Gateside collies have worked together for many years (12? 13? who keeps track of a friendship like this one?). Our partnership developed when we lived 50min apart in the Midwest 2 kids and many Championship collies ago. It allowed us to keep larger numbers of dogs in the manner we think collies should be kept, in the house and involved with the family, while allowing us to still compete with the bigger kennels. Since then we have moved to New Hampshire and Mandalay moved to Florida. We maintain our partnership with a lot of work, long distance calls and frequent flyer miles. The cancellation of our national specialty show and all dog shows for the next several months and the stay at home orders due to Covid-19 has thrown a monkey wrench in our plans to move dogs for this years breeding's. We are currently reorganizing our breeding plans for the next two years and if we can get dogs where they need to be for the breedings we want to do, we hope to have a summer litter yet in 2020. Wish us luck. Be safe and be kind.
